Gov: Pulaski County

The Pulaski County Quorum Court has decided to postpone a final vote on a proposed moratorium for new data center development. County leaders voted on Tuesday night to delay advancing the measure until the fourth Tuesday in July.

An independent subject matter expert indicated that while the ordinance is well-intended, it could lead to unintended consequences and negatively impact economic development in Pulaski County, influencing the decision to defer the vote.
